      New Kawasaki KLX 230 S Launch Soon Via CKD Route – Xpulse Rival

      by

      Kawasaki KLX 230 SWith localization, Kawasaki would be able to introduce the KLX 230 S in India at a starting price of under Rs 2 lakh
      As the ADV segment shows significant potential in India, OEMs are aggressively targeting this space. Following a similar strategy, Kawasaki will be introducing the KLX 230 S dual-sport bike in India this month via the CKD route. The localized version will be based on the 2024 model sold internationally.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S – Performance
      Powering the Kawasaki KLX 230 S is a simple 233cc, 2V, air-cooled engine that delivers around 17.90 Nm of torque. Power output is expected to be around 20 hp. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Rival Hero Xpulse 200 from Hero MotoCorp has similar numbers to show at 18.9 hp and 17.35 Nm.
      However, spy shots have revealed that Xpulse 210 is under development. It will borrow the 210 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine from Karizma. Power and torque output is 25 bhp and 20.4 Nm, which is higher than the upcoming Kawasaki KLX 230 S. In the USA, the 2024 Kawasaki KLX 230 S has 37 mm telescopic forks at front and a single shock with adjustable spring preload at the rear.
      The bike has 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. Braking setup comprises 240 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. The bike has ground clearance of 239 mm and seat height of 843 mm. Kerb weight is 133 kg, which is significantly lighter than Hero Xpulse 200 weighing in at 159 kg (Base) and 161 kg (Pro).
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S
      Expected variations in India-spec model
      In the Indian market, Kawasaki KLX 230 S will have to comply with the latest BS6 emission standards. Moreover, some components are mandatory such as saree guard and front number plate. Considering all these changes, India-spec Kawasaki KLX 230 S could weigh around 140 kg. That’s still lighter than the currently sold Hero Xpulse 200 4V.
      Being lightweight means that Kawasaki KLX 230 S will enjoy a greater power-to-weight ratio. Kawasaki KLX 230 S will be the third Kawasaki bike to undergo localization. Earlier, Kawasaki had introduced localized versions of the Ninja 300 and W175. Across international markets, Kawasaki KLX 230 S has tech features such as engine and chassis management systems.
      With smartphone pairing, users can access a range of connectivity features. Using Kawasaki’s Rideology App, users can access vehicle information such as fuel gauge, odometer, maintenance schedule, etc. on their smartphone. Riding data and logs can also be accessed on the smartphone.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S
      It includes items such as rpm, gear position, GPS route, etc. When paired, call and mail notifications can be seen on the instrument panel. On specific models, users can also check and change bike settings such as payload settings, electronic rider support features and rider mode via their smartphone.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S – Price
      As it has to challenge the affordably priced Hero Xpulse, Kawasaki will be looking to introduce the KLX 230 S at a competitive price point. It will depend on the level of localization introduced for the bike. Estimates indicate that a pricing of under Rs 2 lakh can help attract enthusiasts. But Hero Xpulse, available at Rs 1.47 lakh, will continue to enjoy the price advantage. Even the upcoming Xpulse 210 model will be cheaper than the Kawasaki KLX 230 S.

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, Enduro R, SMC R To Debut AT EICMA

      by

      Upcoming 2025 KTM Adventure R, 390 Enduro R, 390 SMC R, 125 Adventure R, 125 SMC R (no order)With updated 390 lineup, KTM will increase its presence in 350cc to 450cc segment, boosting sales against Royal Enfield’s offerings
      KTM is known for introducing extensive updates for its bikes. Most recent example is the new 390 Duke that has been unveiled across global markets, including India. It featured the new 399cc engine, which the company will now offer with other models like 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R as well. Also, there are two more 390 models, this time around.
      One is called Enduro 390 R, which has been spied testing in India as well. The third mystery 399cc motorcycle is called 390 SMC R, which will be closely related to 390 Enduro R. Apart from these three, KTM could showcase bigger bikes based on 990 or 1390 platform at 2024 EICMA.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R
      Apart from the 2025 lineup of 990 and 1390 based KTM big bikes to be showcased at EICMA, there will be three product showcases relevant to Indian market. These three upcoming motorcycles are based on the smaller 390 platform and will join the already-launched 390 Duke.
      These are 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R. While we are familiar with 390 Adventure from the past, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R are new models. Notably, we have seen test mules of 390 Enduro R, but the 390 SMC R is completely out of the blue.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spied
      Speculations suggest that it could be a Supermoto version of this platform, closely resembling the enduro-style 390 Enduro R. Only the dual-sport Enduro is likely to get the 21-inch front wheel for extreme off-roading. Rivaling off-road motorcycle offering from Royal Enfield. 
      With all these motorcycles, we can expect a sportier look and feel. LED headlights, DRLs, sharper edges, colour-injected plastic parts and edgier graphics are likely. 2024 KTM 390 Duke utilizes a two-piece construction. It has a new trellis main frame, along with an aluminium rear frame. We can expect a similar chassis setup on these 390 models.
      What to expect?
      The new frame not only enhances the looks but is also designed to improve agility, torsional rigidity and feedback from the chassis. WP Apex USD forks with adjustable rebound and compression damping, offset WP Apex split-piston shock absorber with pre-load and rebound adjustability, new lightweight alloy wheels, new four-piston radial brake calliper and a two-piston rear calliper are expected components.
      KTM 390 Enduro (top) and 390 Adventure (below)
      Features-wise, we can expect ride-by-wire tech, a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth and navigation, a USB C charging port, illuminated switchgear, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and forged aluminium foot pegs are likely. There will be riding modes too along with a slew of electronic rider aids.
      All these upcoming 390 motorcycles get the same 399 cc engine with 44 bhp of max power and 39 Nm of peak torque. A bi-directional quick shifter, a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox are likely features. Engine characteristics might be unique to each machine.
      After five long years, KTM is returning to EICMA and is likely to make quite a spectacle showcasing its impressive range of upcoming 390, 990 and 1390 motorcycles. The company is poised to showcase some of its upcoming technology like AMT gearbox and an 8.8-inch instrument cluster. There are rumours of 125 Adventure R and 125 SMC R as well, which will be interesting to see. More

      Ola Electric Scooter At Rs 50k – Price Cut As Sales Decline

      by

      Ola Electric Scooter At Rs 50kWith dwindling sales and a massive setback in after-sales service, Ola Electric is marching ahead with BOSS offer ahead of festive season
      India’s leading electric 2W mobility solutions provider, Ola Electric, has been proactively pushing the sales of its S1 range of electric scooters. The company has been facing a lot of slack recently and even registered its lowest sales of 2024 last month. Amidst all this, Ola has now offered a limited-period offer.
      Called BOSS (Biggest Ola Season Sale), this limited-period offer ensures buyers can take home an Ola S1 scooter for just Rs 49,999. However, Ola’s new BOSS campaign seems to be only applicable to the base S1X electric scooter and the offer is applicable till stocks last. As denoted by an asterisk in a small font.
      Ola Electric Scooter At Rs 50k
      Ola S1X Electric Scooter At Rs 50K
      While the company is still India’s best-selling electric scooter manufacturer, Ola Electric is bleeding volumes quite a lot and is losing precious market share to the likes of TVS and Bajaj Chetak, among others. In September 2024, Ola Electric registered its lowest sales of this calendar year at just 23,965 units.
      In a bid to boost sales around the festive season, Ola Electric has launched what it calls BOSS (Biggest Ola Season Sale). With this move, Ola Electric is offering the base S1X electric scooter at an attractive price point of Rs 50K (Effective Ex-sh). Rs 49,999 to be precise. When compared to the actual prices, this is a Rs 25,000 price cut.
      Ola Electric Scooter Sep sales lowest in 2024
      Ola Electric has mentioned that BOSS offer is for S1X 2 kWh battery model only and the offer price of Rs 49,999 stands till the stocks last. There is no time bracket mentioned and prices can revert back to Rs 74,999 (Ex-sh) at company’s discretion. Ola Electric share price has seen a decline in the past few days. From its peak of Rs 157 on 19th Aug it is down to Rs 102 on 1st Oct.
      Declining Sales, Growing Complaints
      There is early access to the Ola community, who can avail the offer from today. Speaking of community, Ola scooter owners have been embracing innovative and aggressive measures to showcase their distrust of the brand. The company is averaging around 80,000 complaints per month. One Ola Electric owner sang sad custom songs on loudspeakers in front of the showroom showing a broken-down Ola scooter.
      One Ola scooter owner from Kalaburagi in Karnataka (then Gulbarga), set an Ola showroom on fire, demonstrating his frustration regarding the company’s after-sales service. Or the lack thereof. Owners have been reporting everything between small and frustrating niggles and major breakdowns. Ola service centres are being called as graveyards of electric scooters on social media, owing to the prolonged service period.
      To tackle growing complaints, Ola Electric is promising rapid measures for damage control. The company promises to expand its service network to incorporate 1,000 service centres by the end of December. AI-powered maintenance with Move OS 5, training 1 lakh third-party mechanics, Hyper Service, 1-Day fix are some of the initiatives. More
